Although school is just around the corner, our athletes have busy all summer working to get better. They have endured the heat, and many of our teams have been practicing as early as 6:00 a.m. Our Middle School athletes have been practicing since August 2, which is two weeks earlier than last fall. We look forward to seeing the results of our extended practice schedules over the next few weeks as we enter into interscholastic competition. We applaud all of their hard work and commitment to excellence. As we approach the start of school, we expect a renewed sense of enthusiasm with the opening of our new athletic facilities just around the corner. 

Our Fall Sports Meeting for grades 5-12 will be held Monday, August 23, at 6:30 p.m. in EPAC (Elder Performing Arts Center). Parents will receive information from their individual coaches as well as department updates for the fall season.
